This resolution establishes rules for the House of Representatives for the 119th Congress.
The resolution adopts the rules from the 118th Congress with specified changes, including
• providing that a resolution vacating the Office of Speaker is only privileged (takes precedence over all matters other than motions to adjourn) if it is offered by a sponsor of the majority party joined by eight cosponsors from the majority party;
• providing that the Speaker may only entertain a motion to suspend the rules on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays;
• prohibiting waiver (by rule or by order) of the germaneness rule (which requires amendments to be of the same subject matter as the measure under consideration); and
• prohibiting consideration of measures that exceed a specified long-term budget impact according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Additional changes include
• authorizing the use of electronic voting within a committee;
• authorizing remote appearances by non-executive branch witnesses and their counsel in committee proceedings;
• eliminating the House Office of Diversity and Inclusion;
• eliminating certain collective bargaining rights for employees of the House of Representatives;
• reauthorizing the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party;
• reauthorizing the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission; and
• reauthorizing the House Democracy Assistance Commission (an entity that advises democratic parliaments in other countries) and renaming it the House Democracy Partnership.
